What elements does the car suspension consist of? We will check it by testing the car without suspension and adding more elements to it. In this way you will see why the car springs and what are the types of shock absorbers. Tomasz Kuchar will also explore the topic of how all this should be combined - you'll learn about dependent, independent and semi-dependent constructions.
You don't know what the torque is, but you are afraid to ask? This program is for you! As there is nothing more practical than good theory, it's time to lecture on motorization. For all those who would like to learn more about the operation and construction of the car, TVN Turbo has prepared a program that will dispel all doubts. Everything in a simple and attractive form, thanks to which every layman will have a chance to understand the issues discussed. Tomasz Kuchar - one of the leading Polish rally drivers - this time he will play a new role and talk about all aspects related to the technical side of the car's operation. Each episode is a trip to the interior of automotive components - from the braking system, through the suspension to the construction of the gearbox.
Tomasz Kuchar will be dragging trains and standing for several races, all to explain why cars are mounted on gearboxes. We will also show how the manual gearbox works in conjunction with the clutch and discuss the different types of automatic gearboxes: classic, dual clutch and stepless.
We will explain how combustion engines work - both gasoline and diesel. We will compare them and check which one is better and tell you how they have changed over the years. Tomasz Kuchar will use several picture props for this purpose: shotgun, sewing machine, spray gun and "Toddler" with a balloon on the roof.
Tomasz Kuchar will explain how the steering system is constructed. You will learn what Ackerman's angles, convergence, camber, camber, crossover etc. are boredom? Not if you find out how it affects driving, and we'll show you the example of Warsaw, a draisine, a drift car and a furiously fast remote-controlled model! We will also discuss the benefits of the four-wheel steering system and electric power steering!
Tomasz Kuchar will explain what power is and how it is measured. We also explain vividly what mechanical equation is and what torque is. After such theoretical preparation, the time will come for multi-cylinder engines, turbo and hundreds, and even thousands of horsepower - during races the power will be with us!
We will play curling, go to the playground and carry out experiments with bricks - thanks to this you will understand what the phenomenon of friction is and what are its consequences. From here, it's just a step to the experimental cars, hydraulic machines, great temperatures and surprising conclusions - and all this so that the braking system no longer has a secret from you! In addition, ABS tests and comparison of modern brakes with those from 50 years ago!
Tomasz Kuchar breaks down the factors with 4x4 drives. Each manufacturer names its drive differently, and in this thicket of names even an automotive expert can get lost - we'll show you what types of four-wheel drive and how they really differ. We will also do the appropriate tests to see which type of drive is the best!
